use flash drive with xp - using virtual box

[4now]

Hello
Very excited to have XP running smoothly using Virtual Box.

But I have not yet found how to have my flash drive show up in my computer

Thanks so much

With your USB stick inserted into an open USB port and VirtualBox running, click on the fifth icon in the lower right of the window. You should get a list of all the USB devices currently attached to the system. Just click on the one you want, and Windows will act like you just inserted it.

HTH!

yes, this is extremely important!!!

As I unmount the USB Stick from the Mac, I heard the strange but familiar sound from the VB WinXP! It worked!!!

Thank you guys!!!
